LaIII-Induced Addition of Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol, Tetrahydropyran-2-ylmethanol, D-Gluconate, Methanol and Ethanol to Maleate.
摘要:
La-IIII-mediated Michael-type addition of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (thfa) and tetrahydropyran-2-ylmethanol (thpm) to maleate 1, to form the corresponding alkoxybutanedioic acids in high yields (>89%) is described. Small amounts (<5%) of the products from competitive addition of water were formed when hydrated salts were used. Larger amounts of water interfere with this reaction. The extension of this reaction to D-gluconate 3, methanol and ethanol, to prepare 2-[(D-gluconate)-2-O-yl]butanedioate 4, methoxybutanedioic acid 2e and ethoxy-butanedioic acid 2f, has also been achieved.
